The Wood Brothers Bring Unique Sound to Beaver Creek This Wednesday

The Wood Brothers, a Grammy-nominated progressive Americana trio, are set to perform in Beaver Creek this Wednesday, bringing their eclectic sound to the mountains. The group, composed of brothers Chris and Oliver Wood, along with multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix, has been making music together for years, and their chemistry is undeniable. According to Chris Wood, the moment his brother Oliver joined him on stage, they knew they had something special. "It was like looking in a mirror," he recalls, noting that their shared history, influences, and childhood created an instant connection.

This connection is palpable in their music, which blends their genetically similar voices with Rix's diverse talents. As Chris Wood notes, having a third voice that's not genetically related adds a unique dimension to their sound, creating a rich and harmonious blend. Rix, who is an accomplished keyboard player, jazz pianist, and salsa dancer, brings a wealth of influences to the table, from Latin music to rock 'n' roll and funk. His talents have been a key factor in shaping the band's sound, which defies easy categorization.

The Wood Brothers' music is a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity. Their songs and albums emerge from a subconscious process, with the band members drawing on their collective experiences and influences to create something new and original. As Chris Wood explains, "Your subconscious is the most true, authentic piece of you. You're not judging yourself when your subconscious is speaking. That's how the best art comes about." This approach has resulted in a diverse and eclectic discography, with their latest album, "Puff of Smoke," being a prime example.

Released last August, "Puff of Smoke" is a collection of tunes that explore the themes of impermanence and joy in the face of challenges. As Oliver Wood notes, "We're not in control, and that can be good news." The album breaks free from the Americana mold, incorporating a wide range of genres and influences. From Latin Caribbean to straight-up rock, the band's music is a reflection of their adventurous spirit and willingness to experiment.

The Wood Brothers' performance in Beaver Creek is a rare opportunity for local music fans to experience their unique sound live. With their blend of folk, rock, and world music influences, the band is sure to delight audiences and leave a lasting impression. As they take the stage, they'll be drawing on their years of experience, their shared history, and their individual talents to create a truly unforgettable show.
